Just wandering if some know for sure whats inside and if it is possible to clean with brake cleaner or something?
Was in the same situation last year. I thought the pump was good, so I replaced the valve. The light still came on. Replaced the pump and problem solved. Old pump was somewhat loud. After replacement, new pump was fairly quiet.

Good luck,
Daniel
